Pasar Besar • Taman Tun Dr. Ismail

V happy to be here to experience local everyday routine. Most of the stalls are close by 12. This wet market is clean and airy. The food stalls above sell delicious food patronize but office staffs nearby.

The market itself was smaller than I expected, but I decided to check it out after a friend told me their squid was especially fresh and delicious. I also picked up some nicely marbled salmon while I was there. The squid was just as fresh as my friend had said, and it was perfect for sashimi. I also bought three kinds of pork: thinly sliced for shabu-shabu, for okonomiyaki, and minced. The staff were incredibly helpful—they showed me samples and explained the cuts and their best uses in detail. Their kindness really made the visit worthwhile.

The few remaining " wet market " in the city. This is from the era when supermarkets weren't a thing then. The place to get fresh seafood, chicken, beef, and vegetables. And fresh pork as well. There are a couple of stalls specialising in fresh fruits, local and imported. You can get fresh eggs, santan. freshly made sauces, fresh flowers, among other things. There is also a shop catering to your baking needs. On the second floor, there are halal food stalls offering good Roti Canai, Nasi Lemak, etc. Or just sit there and order a Teh Tarik kurang manis. The market opens early and closes by 1 pm. Parking is easy and inexpensive. The market is close on Mondays.

This morning at 11am I went to Pasar Besar in Taman Tun Dr Ismail KL to collect my pre- ordered pork from Lee Wah Trading- a big pork stall inside the wet market here. I bought a lot of different cuts of pork to get ready for our family Chinese New Year celebrations. I bought 2 kg of meaty pork ribs, 4 kg of premium pork belly , a half kg of lean pork n 1 1/2 kg of pork shoulder loin. My total bill amounts to RM 381.70. Pork prices like all other food items have also increased in price. Though it’s a bit pricey , I ‘m happy for I get premium n choice n fresh pork here.

Probably one of the cleanest market in whole Malaysia! Love the local vibes there. Most of the stalls have been there since forever. Lots of relationships and support. It’s a place for repeat customers and not one off sales. Good breakfast the top floor too. Non halal part is at the car park area. Frequent by a lot of expatriate - Japanese, Korean etc..

Be careful if you’re buying from ULAM MELAYU - PASAR BESAR TTDI! I got scammed — I ordered 3 cempedak but received 3 nangka instead, and one of them even had zero flesh inside. Totally unacceptable. I reported this issue to Grab, but their reply was that it was over 12 hours so they can’t do anything. I’m honestly speechless. Please beware before ordering from this seller!

日曜の朝9時前に訪れましたが、思っていたよりも空いていました。室内にあるので虫も臭いも少なめで清潔です。野菜や果物はチョウキットの市場の方がお店も多く安いですが、豚肉を買うならやはりここです。日本語で料理名が書かれていて、例えば「お好み焼き」と言えば豚バラ薄切り肉を好きなグラム分切ってくれます。 ほとんどのお店でQRペイが使えるところも良いです！2階もありますが2階は服メインでお店も活気も少なめ。ただ、地元の人が使うフードコートがあり、ロティチャナイなどを食べられます。
